Haiti Government to Meet 2015 Goal for National Botanical Garden

Over two-dozen plant specialists from around the world converged on Port-au-Prince for a bio-diversity conference.

Plans to erect a National Botanical Garden were discussed, led by President Armand of Haitian Foundation for the Environment. Because Haiti's government has made no efforts to fulfill the 1987 Constitution to create a network of botanical gardens, agronomist Cinéas said an oversight committee would monitor government's progress to allocate funding from the general fund for the project by 2015.
